"Shakira mentioned The Cure in Rolling Stone Issue 1091: "I am such a huge fan of Bob Marley, the Cure, and AC/DC, and when I heard about this legendary studio where all of them recorded, I knew I had to be there, " says Shakira. "This place is the main reason I settled in the Bahamas". She's referring to Compass Point Studios, where some of KMKMKM was mixed in late 1986 with Dave Allen and Sean Burrows."
